The Terrorism From 9/11 Has Metastasized. It's Metastasized In Iraq And Syria, In Nigeria, In Somalia, In Yemen And In Other Places In North Africa. We Need A Very Comprehensive Strategy To Deal With That Threat.

I Want To Reassert Again The Position Of The United States That With Regards To Iran, We Will Not Allow Iran To Develop A Nuclear Weapon, Period. We Will Not Allow Them To Develop A Nuclear Weapon, And We Will Exert All Options In The Effort To Ensure That That Does Not Happen...the United States Stands Firmly With Israel, And We Have A Rock Solid Commitment To The Security Of Israel And To The Security Of Its Citizens.

Russians Understand Strength, And If They Feel That Their Opponents Are Weak, They Will Take Advantage Of It.
